Tony Durant, the older brother of Thunder forward Kevin Durant, will join the team for their games at the Las Vegas Summer League.

The older Durant is a product of Towson University, and is much more bruising than his brother.

Tony, a 6'7" forward, weighs in at 247 pounds.

Less popular Lopez
Less popular Griffin
Less popular Durant

I can see it happening.

Is Robin Lopez older than Brooke Lopez?
I know they are twins but who was born first?

It's like in the movies Twins with Arnie. We get the Devito and the other teams get Arnie.

When We Drafted Taylor Griffin I predicted Ozzie Canseco would be next and I'm stickin' with it.

I believe i figured all this "drafting the less popular brother" plot!

Three years from now, when Brook Lopez is a free agent, NJ will be able to offer him a contract bigger than every other team.
BUT the suns can offer him the maximum allowed, and his brother as well!
since money stays in the family, it's actually allowing us to pay him more than NJ!
and of course it gives a leverage of "come to play in the sunny phoenix with your dear bro"...

same goes with Blake Griffin...

2014 lineup:

PG:
SG:
SF: Earl Clark / ... / Taylor Griffin
PF: B. Griffin /
C: Brook Lopez / Robin Lopez

FTW :lol:

Steve Nash's brother is a world-class soccer player. Maybe they should sign him too

No green text so I'll assume you're not being sarcastic here ...

I think there's a slight difference between playing for your national team and being "World Class".

It's like saying Eric the Eel was a World Class swimmer.

Oh well then my mistake...lol. Since when Canada does even count as a soccer nation? When was the last time they played in the World Cup? Have they ever played in it? :lol:
